04THE ROOM · WHAT TO EXPECT
THE VIBE.
Tablecloth, sommelier, multi-course pacing.
A Pattaya institution. The list would be wrong without it.
Open over a decade. The fixtures are part of the menu.
Tables of two, low lighting, the right pace for a long conversation.
The wine programme rewards a glass at the bar before the meal.
